What is it about?

This chapter argues that increasingly restrictive policies that have been directed at refugees in Britain since 1999 also have implications for other categories of migrants.

Why is it important?

Policies relating to refugees and migrant workers are often considered separately. This chapter is innovative in making a connection between them.

Perspectives

This chapter, and the edited volume it is part of, developed from my participation in the conference Vulnerable Workers, Forced Labour, Migration and Ethical Trading at the University of Leeds in 2012. It offered the opportunity to bring my research on the UK asylum system into conversation with a broad range of researchers, practitioners and activists also concerns with the role of borders in exploitation.
